Next time you're at the gym, check yourself out in the mirror while doing an exercise!
We all know exercise is supposed to relieve stress. But there are times when we don't feel that stress relief especially when we think exercising is too hard or it's not doing anything. Injury during exercise can also stress us out.
Sports psychologist and professor Steve Edwards Ph.D. at Oklahoma State University says, "The psychological boost of adhering to a program that you enjoy doing is much greater than the reward you get from any single session." He also suggests looking at yourself in the mirror of your gym while doing your exercises. Not only will a mirror help you notice bad form but will also let you see what you can do well thus giving you a more profound appreciation of the capability of your body.
